Introduction: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is an important extrahepatic cardiovascular complication of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Aim: To determine the prevalence of NAFLD in young (=45 years) Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, and to assess the association between severity of NAFLD and severity of CAD. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2017-April 2018, with a total of 85 patients. CAD severity was determined by coronary angiogram while its complexity by SYNTAX score. Fatty liver was diagnosed and graded by liver ultrasound examination. Results: The prevalence of NAFLD was 100%. Thirty-three (38.9%) had ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), 32 (37.6%) had Non STEMI (NSTEMI) and 20 (23.5%) had unstable angina. There was no significant correlation between NAFLD steatosis grades and ACS subtypes (p=0.721), severity of CAD (p=0.822) and SYNTAX score (p=0.982). No association between NAFLD fibrosis score and ACS subtypes (p=0.232), severity of CAD (p=0.445) or SYNTAX score (p=0.839) were observed. Conclusion: The NAFLD was extremely prevalent in young ACS patients. However, no significant association between severity of NAFLD and severity of CAD was found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
